On Sunday, Jackson police searched a dumpster after a report that a newborn baby was discarded there.

Around 10:30 a.m. officers responded to the Express Fuel on Bailey Avenue, according to Jackson Police Department spokesman Sgt. Roderick Holmes. Officers and investigators combed through much of the dumpster and viewed video surveillance but found nothing.

Investigators spoke to the 18-year-old girl who was accused of abandoning a baby to determine if anything occurred. So far investigators have not found any evidence that a birth occurred.

As a precaution, the dumpster was towed so police could conduct a complete search.
